Re: Etch becoming slower than Sarge?

Dear Debian users,

A couple of my friends who were using Sarge, on machines with 128 MB
of RAM and 256 MB of RAM have complained that an upgrade from Sarge to
Etch has slowed their machine down considerably. This is irrespective
of the Window Manager. Is there any particular reason why this could
be happening? I could not pin down anything in particular which could
cause this to happen.

Thanks.

I think it is memory issue. Programs generally are using more memory with new releases. Use 'free' command to see your memory situation. 'top' can tell you which processes are consuming most memory. You can use also System Monitor with gnome or KDE System Guard but they use more guess what: memory. :)
